bayern munich continue their quest for a second uefa cup title on thursday night when they host scottish side aberdeen in the second leg of their round of 32 tie. the four-time european champions twice fought back from being a goal behind at pittodrie before drawing the first leg 2-2. miroslav klose and hamit altintop scored a goal apiece to save bayern from what could have been the biggest upset in this year's competition. soundbite (german) bayern coach ottmar hitzfeld says: "of course we are a team that is a clear favourite and we want to reach the final. that's why we desperately need a victory. but aberdeen will certainly fight and it is a team that is very flexible, aggressive and dangerous in their set pieces and they are capable of playing fast counter attacks. but we want to make our own game at home. i am convinced that we will play a better match on a better pitch than in aberdeen. so i think we will benefit more from our qualities." supercaption: ottmar hitzfeld, bayern munich coach recent european history is not on aberdeen's side - they've failed to win any of their last five away games on the continent, scoring only once on the way to two draws and three defeats. but given last week's result, midfielder barry nicholson says the dons are far from overawed. soundbite (english) "we've got to take confidence from that. i don't think anyone gave us a prayer, but in the dressing room, deep down, we had a game plan and i think we stuck to it and... no, we're pretty pleased with the result. we'd obviously like to come over here with a slender lead, but no, i think we surprised a few people last night, last thursday, and hopefully we can do the same again." supercaption: barry nicholson, aberdeen midfielder italian striker luca toni, the joint leading goalscorer in this season's uefa cup with six, could be aberdeen's biggest threat, having netted a hat-trick against hannover 96 in the bundesliga on sunday. the winner of the tie will face either anderlecht or bordeaux in the round of 16.
